Linear Equations Cheat Sheet

This document provides a cheat sheet on linear equations in standard form (ax + by = c), slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), and point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)). It explains when to use each form and how to rewrite equations between the forms. Key steps include identifying the slope from an equation, finding the slope between two points, and plugging values into the appropriate forms.

Linear Equations Cheat Sheet

Standard Form ax + by = c Slope = -a/b When to Use: When given a slope and a point How to Use: Using the slope, identify "a" and "b". Then plug in a, b x, and y. Solve for c. Rewrite the equation using only a,b and c, keep x and y as x and y. When To Use: When you need to When given a slope find the slope from an and a y-intercept equation How to Use: take the opposite of Plug in the slope for the x coefficient over "m" and the ythe y coefficient to intercept for "b" get the slope. Use the slope equation with the points to get a slope, then pick one of the two points and follow as above. No Slope Zero Slope When given two points, and you need to find a line Plug in the slope for "m" and the ordered pair for x and y. Solve for b. Rewrite the equation using values for m and b, keep x and y as x and y. Plug the point Follow equation coordinates in for "x1" and "y1" and the slope in for "m". Rearrange the equation into the desired form. When given a slope and a point When given a point and a slope When given two points and you need a slope Slope Intercept Form y = mx + b Slope = m Point Slope Form y - y1 = m(x - x1) Slope = m m= (y2 - y1) (x2 - x1) Slope Equation
